Of Cats and Dogs (Kakashi x Male OC)

Chapter 3

I'm about to graduate. Indeed, ladies and lads, I - Shizuya - am about to officially become a Genin! The past six years have been a rollercoaster of a ride of ups and downs. But! I've survived and evolved to become that awesome being that I am today!

I am currently standing in front of my two teachers, namely, Iruka and Mizuki, the latter of which I really dislike. He has been a dick to Naruto and me from day one, though Blondie never really seemed to notice all of the sabotaging and manipulating that that bastard has been doing. And that fake smile he is constantly wearing is just downright unnerving. Honestly, I feel like there's something important I'm missing but meh, whatever. It couldn't possibly be that bad.

"Hello Shizuya, are you prepared to take your test today?" Iruka-sensei interrupts my thoughts.

"Ah, yes Sensei," I reply.

"Alright, then please make two functional clones," he says, with which I comply. I truly wouldn't want to toot my own horn here, but I'm pretty damn fast at making hand signs if I dare say so myself. So, within less than a second, and with a silent pouf, I had perfect clones of Iruka and Mizuki standing beside me. Both originals smiled at the sight.

"Perfectly done, just as expected, Shizuya. Congratulations! You are now officially a Genin!" Iruka congratulated me.

"Indeed, well done, Shizuya. Now, how about you chose your Hitai-ate?" Mizuki joins in. He may be sus as all heck, but you know what? I couldn't care less at the moment. I'm a real shinobi now!

"Thank you, Iruka-sensei, Mizuki-sensei!" I cheerfully reply before picking a black-colored forehead protector and tying it around my throat.

"If you would please call for Shikamaru on your way out, that would be much appreciated," Iruka says, to which I nod and leave the room. The moment I walk back into the classroom, I almost stumble. The sight before me is... something else, to say the least. Naruto is kissing Sasuke. Not the pairing I would have expected but to each their own. I'm gay myself, so who am I to judge the two's taste, ey? I continue to walk over to my seat. Meanwhile, the female populace of our class decided to gang up on Naruto and beat him into a pulp. Cannot say that I did not see this coming. Sasuke is the most popular boy, after all. But I pay them no mind. None of my classmates pay me any attention either. I'm the cat demon after all. On my way back to my seat, I look at the Nara heir.

"You're up next, Shikamaru."

"What a drag..." He sighs before getting up and walking towards the examination room. I, myself, plop down on my favorite spot in the very last row right next to the window, and some exaggerated stretching later, I am already on my way to dreamland.

Today is the day when we would get sorted into teams. This means that we will get a Jōnin sensei. This also means that I may or may not get some hot eye candy to look at for the foreseeable future. Oh please, God above, do not, under any circumstances, put me in a team with a female Jōnin!

"Listen up!" I'm listening! "First of all, congratulations to all of you for passing. I'm proud to have had a chance to teach you guys during these years. I sincerely hope that all of you will turn into great ninja that our village can be proud of! And without further ado, I will now tell you which of you will form a team together," Iruka said.

"Team 7 - Haruno Sakura, Uzumaki Naruto," Pinkie groans in annoyance while the Blonde goes all "Yatta!", "Uchiha Sasuke," this time the exact opposite reactions, "and, because we have uneven numbers, Shizuya!" No real reaction this time.

"Wait, Iruka-sensei! Why does an exceptional student like me have to be grouped with a slouch like that teme?!" Naruto protests as loud as ever. Just what kind of voice box does this boy have to be able to constantly scream his lungs out? He should consider becoming the vocalist for a metal band. After he's all grown up. Right now his voice is just deadly.
